However, I will say that I continue to read & throughly enjoy your blog because it throbs with a genuine warmth, honesty & humanity. Which, in an age of self-obsessed journalese posts, is incredibly refreshing. And you're funny. Or, is witty a better way to put it? Drily witty. Oh, & you have a pretty decent music taste too.DChttp://www.twrhq.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-86746663349592572802012-04-29T10:59:37.379+01:002012-04-29T10:59:37.379+01:00Hey Gracie!

Thank you, I know this blog has certainly been a mixed bag of things, so it is nice to know that people have enjoyed following along :) <br /><br />Blog if you need to! But there shouldn't be any pressure to blog, as that makes it no fun at all! I don't think I will be stopping any time soon.

Then, your studies drew me in because of my interest in things psychological! In the interim, your British wit and all around charm have made me a true believer in all things Claire! <br />I started blogging as a form of healing after a death. It took many a twist and turn and has been dormant since January, when I vowed to become more faithful to blogging.... rIght. <br />I truly hope you keep up the blog and doodles!Amazing Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788890988002911896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-65520664508159900132012-04-26T22:09:48.853+01:002012-04-26T22:09:48.853+01:00Count me in to your Competition!

I always really enjoyed 'Birds in the Meadow', probably because I had similar feelings myself at the time. I had increasingly become a self imposed hermit and it was/is hard to break that. I think that is why I was sharing all my hiking adventures, to remind myself that I like being outdoors.<br /><br />So glad that you are recovering now! and that blogging helped. I don't think everyone gets the therapeutic value of blogging and how close you can be with online friends that you have never met. I know it was an alien concept for me at first, but I really love some of the people that live in my computer. <br /><br />Would love to see you blogging again, so I am kind of glad that I opened that can of worms :)<br /><br />You most certainly qualify! <br /><br />It is great having mum back home and the building work was worth it for sure!crpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740212737574269503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-36612177934265980382012-04-26T20:22:24.524+01:002012-04-26T20:22:24.524+01:00Thanks David!

I can't quite bring myself to delete it, and am considering writing again. Initially I wrote it for two reasons. In part it helped me get over my agrophobia, as in order to have anything to write about I had to leave the house regularly, and through writing I realised how much I loved being outdoors again. Plus the small group of online friends became an important social boost to me during times I was failing to leave the house.(There, bet you never knew I was a recovering agrophobic, did you? No you didn't, cause I never mentioned it online before ;) Secondly because I really needed an outlet for expressing my feelings about the natural world. In "real life" I live in London and probably seem to be quite an urbanite to my friends here. But there is a really important part of me that wasn't being expressed in that everyday life. My blog was a part of myself that did not manifest in the outside world. I stopped writing because once I was pretty much recovered it all seemed a bit redundant, but I'm feeling the urge to write again now. Not sure why, but I am! Ok, sorry for going on about myself here but you just opened a real can of worms :) I'm already a liker and obsessive stalker of the Doodologist so I don't know if I qualify but I'd love to be entered in the competition :) Glad to read that your mum is newly installed again and enjoying a wheelchair friendly home, the building work must have seemed never ending but soooo worth it now xxxPat Phillipshttp://brilliantaether.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-7386898978421540482012-04-26T13:27:52.991+01:002012-04-26T13:27:52.991+01:00Already liking you on FB, already following you on...Already liking you on FB, already following you on @crpitt - which leaves following you on the doodleboodle - which I have done.<br /><br />So that leaves me to think about 'a doodle of your choice' and I know what I would choose and it would be - - - a random number generator as pictured by you.<br /><br />Best<br />D.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881509432705597309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-88610928965860007482012-04-26T11:40:09.953+01:002012-04-26T11:40:09.953+01:00Hello,

Just glad that you popped by and have taken the time to leave a comment :)<br /><br />I think we have a similar though process when it comes to blogging and when I was doing my counselling studies there was a definite need to share the stuff that I was learning, as a way of making sense of it for myself. Instead of separating the blogging experience, I kept the random stuff here as well :)<br /><br />Thanks!!

I...Congrats on 5 years, thats no small achievement!<br />I'd love to take part in your competition, although I feel cheeky since I've not been by in ages!<br /><br />Why do I blog? Good question. <br />Sometimes I blog to get things straight in my head, that tends to be the personal and mental health stuff. Sometimes I blog as a way of revising for uni, by trying to teach others what I have learned. And sometimes I blog because I like a bit of soapboxing, be it sharing experiences I have had or ranting about something. And sometimes I just want to be completely random (See my Can You See The Real Me blog)<br /><br />I have met some wonderful people through blogging and by extension twitter (yourself included) and I cannot imagine my life without the mad-o-sphere community! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-21775378966219167362012-04-26T01:12:13.880+01:002012-04-26T01:12:13.880+01:00I request entry into said competition.

You...Hey Andrew, thanks for such a great comment! <br /><br />Your motivation to blog is definitely something that I agree with. I also lack the people interaction that I need and blogging/twittering etc provides me with some invaluable feedback. I especially the love the 'worlwide' nature of it all, which means if I am up super early/or late, there is always someone out there :)<br /><br />So right about all the cool interesting people out there! I ignore all the jerks too, they don't interest me one bit.<br /><br />Really enjoyed your comment :)crpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740212737574269503noreply@blogger.com
